Data can provide the insight to shape decision-making, power scientific innovation, improve business operations or inform government policy. But it takes state-of-the-art computer science methods to unlock that power. Our MSc Data Science lets you master those methods.

With the units you’ll study, we’ll equip you with the techniques of statistical analysis and data mining that can help you find the story in complex, high-volume, high-dimensional data from various sources – formulating high-quality data models and interpreting the results. We’ll also help you put the technical skills into a real-world, professional context – helping you communicate your findings in the workplace, and address any of the legal or ethical questions that come with data processing.

Throughout the programme, you’ll have guidance from an expert team with real pedigree in the area. So what you learn in the classroom will be rooted in the kind of cutting-edge research that’s addressing societal challenges, making an impact on areas like healthcare, future cities and security.
